Holly Shervey and Emmett Skilton: Crackhead creator and director on the new locally produced dark comedy

Crackhead is a new, locally produced dark comedy, and it's getting plenty of positive reviews.

Created and written by actress Holly Shervey, Crackhead is loosely based on Shervey’s own experience of addiction and psychiatric care.

Holly Shervey and her husband, director of the show, Emmett Skilton, explained the creative process behind creating the show.

"When we finally start to take it off the page, I see Holly really embracing it - she mentioned it's cathartic, she is very liberated by doing this."
